7. Existence / E. Categories / 5. Category Anti-Realism

7020	Concepts don't carve up the world, which has endless overlooked or ignored divisions [Heil]
	Full Idea: Concepts do not 'carve up' the world; the world already contains endless divisions, most of which we remain oblivious to or ignore.
	From: John Heil (From an Ontological Point of View [2003], 05.3)
	A reaction: Concepts could still carve up the world, without ever aspiring to do a complete job. We carve up the aspects that interest us, but the majority of the carving is in response to natural divisions, not whimsical conventions.
